Uses for old router?

[MetricMoose]

I retired a WRT54G2 running DD-WRT micro for another router, though have no idea what to do with it other than the usual WIFI bridge.

Right now I have it sending a message to the people across the street and their fucking poodle that yips and yaps during skype calls, homework and soldering to small traces...

Kind of wasteful right now, any way that I can make it useful?
Not for sale by the way.

It's pretty universal... Why do people get those bastards?

If it doesn't get the message through I may setup some VLANs or something for more lines of text.

I've heard about some fun things people to do mess with people connecting to open wifi, can I do things like redirecting people from the router itself?

I loved that 3'rd one. Made my day.

Disable dhcp and use it as a switch.

turning a layer 3 device into a layer 2 device?

Yes...? And I think there are layer 3 switches. But either way I know it works.

[butre]

do you even know what layer two and layer 3 means?

Crank up the wireless transmit power to the highest you can and see if you can make smoke appear.

Anyone know how I would do redirects from websites? I could setup a local web server for this purpose.

Router -> Local DNS -> Local proxy?

You can disable dhcp and effectively have a switch with a wireless ap. Not hard to figure out.

Thanks, I'll try it.

They have WIFI already, sure it's unstable and disconnects in some rooms if the ulgy girl in the front shifts to the left... Though it's still fine :)
